Pocono Heritage Land Trust Committed to protecting the outstanding natural places of the Pocono Mountains In some cases, PHLT acquires ownership of the land through donation or purchase.

Pocono Heritage Land Trust owns 13 Nature Preserves in Monroe County, all of which are open to the public dawn to dusk, 365 days a year. Our preserves offer a variety of trail networks, streams, natural beauty, and a history of preservation in the Poconos. How it works:
PHLT cooperates with willing landowners and local government to preserve land with special scenic, recreational or environmental value. In others, it acquires the development rights through voluntary legal agreements. In all cases, the trust accepts responsibility for managing and protecting the land in perpetuity. PHLT has protected over 4000 acres in Monroe County - and counting! Help us Preserve the Poconos. Visit phlt.org to get involved or plan your next outdoor adventure.

A large tree has fallen across the trail at the Pomeroy McMichaels Creek Nature Preserve.

Please do not go under, over, or around the tree. It is being held up by two cracked branches that could easily break at any time. We will need to use special equipment to remove it safely.

For now, please stay away from this part of the trail (it is marked with caution tape) until we let everyone know it's safe again. Thank you!
